Kumaun Hand-knitted Woolen Socks - Kids

FAQ

How long can you wear wool socks?

It depends on how long you wear them each time, your activity, the climate, and how comfortable you are with the clothes. It is found that washing them after 2-3 days of full wear is a good trade-off.

How do you care for wool socks?

Hand wash socks in warm water with mild detergent. Soak socks for 10 minutes. First rinse thoroughly in warm water, then rinse in cold water. Avoid overmixing to avoid shrinkage or warping.

Why are wool socks better?

Wool keeps you warm when wet, so it's perfect for sweaty feet. Wool also dries much faster than cotton or other synthetic fibers. Wool fibers are naturally antibacterial due to their physical properties, so they are resistant to odors.

What happens if you dry wool socks?

If you are sure your socks are made of merino wool or superwash yarn, you can put them in the dryer on low speed. However, do not use the dryer for other types of wool socks. If you are unsure about your socks, let them air dry. Make sure your socks are completely dry before throwing them away.
